If you have leftover milkshake, you can store it in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a day. When you are ready to enjoy the leftover milkshake, let it thaw in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. Then, give it a quick blend in a blender until it becomes smooth and creamy again.

  • If you want a more intense strawberry flavor, add a few drops of strawberry extract.
  • For a vegan or dairy-free version, use non-dairy milk and vegan ice cream.
  • Experiment with different toppings, such as whipped cream, strawberry sauce, chopped nuts, sprinkles, waffer stick, or chocolate chips.
